Recently I was working on Android app in which I wanted to host images on server and show them in app. My goal was not to write backend and I found aws s3 bucket. It was very easy as it seems from documentation but I think as I was beginner I struggled for a week to make it working properly.

In this blog post, I am going to talk about the steps to setup the Aws in android project and then how can we fetch s3 files.

Step 1: Setup the Aws Amplify

It’s actually pretty easy to setup Aws SDK in android project

Source: https://docs.amplify.aws/lib/project-setup/prereq/q/platform/android/
Before you begin, make sure you have the following installed:

Node.js v14.x or later
npm v6.14.4 or later
git v2.14.1 or later

Now it’s time to install the amplify

npm install -g @aws-amplify/cli

All done, Let’s configure the aws amplify

amplify configure

I will suggest go through every step mentioned on this page and you will be fine…
